Every day brings with it the announcement of con templated building operations and pub lic improvements. The Cumberland Valley Railroad Company has started work upon the reconstruction of its Mulberry street bridge across the Susquehanna at a cost of approximately three-quarters of a million dollars and the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company is to go ahead with its freight station developments at a cost that will be considerably more. Th# city itself is engaged in com pleting the river wall and in the con- ' struction of large sewer extensions. ' It is also getting ready to erect a new flrehouse anil many smaller improve ments are being outlined for the year, including the construction of three miles of roadway along the municipal parkway, the completion of tho formal entrance and roadways at Reservoir Park and the likelihood of a subway \ to be built beneath the tracks of the Reading Railway near Paxtang. The Harrisburg school district is piitting the finishing touches on one new schoolhouse and another is to be erected in the Tenth ward as soon as plans can be prepared. The Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bend- I inn Company is to add another large | building to its plant, the Graupners I are clearing ground for a new SIOO,OOO bakery, a large store building is going up on the site of the old Kaufman store in Market Square and March building permits exceeded in amount those of that month in the banner building year of 1913. Even the long-looked-for new hotel promises to be forthcoming dur ing the year, the Capitol Park Exten sion Commission will continue its work of clearing the old Eighth ward dis trict and the suburbs are coming for ward with a new town hall at Marys ville, another at Worntleysburg, a new I firehouse at Camp Hill, the enlarge ment of the filter plant at New Cum berland and extensive new building developments in Lemoyne and along the Carlisle pike. It is doubtful if, since the days of the rebuilding of the Rockville bridge and the great period of public and private improvements that followed, ever previously has en joyed such an immense volume of new construction work as is now under way or contemplated for the Imme diate future. No matter whether our mills be operating full or part time, the coming summer Is bound to be one of the busiest and most prosperous the labor ing man of this vicinity has ever ex perienced. and everybody knows that when labor Is employed at fair wages business flourishes. So the outlook is bright Indeed. BACK TO THE CLASSICS DR. ROBERT ELLIS THOMP i SON, President of the Central High School of Philadelphia, is not one of those who believe that the present common school edu cational system is going to the eternal bow-wows or that it should be re placed entirely by so-called "vocation al training." In a recent address, Dr. Thompson delivered himself of an appreciation of the old classics that has been equaled in beauty and force by very few mod ern educators. He made a plea for a nobler intellectual aim than that pre sented by those who have been urging Industrial training in the schools to the exclusion of those studies that are of the mind rather than the h'and. A knowledge of the great human mo tives in the Greek and Latin classics, he said, is essential to social sanity and growth and development in the pres ent time. After all. isn't Dr. Thompson right? Have we not in our desire to fit our boys to earn a living sometimes gone beyond the limit of common sense in our criticisms of the school system as it exists? Manual training and technical edu cation have a largo place in the life of to-day. This is an age of speciali zation and the boy who knows onp thing well is. generally speaking, of more use to the community and more likely to succeed for himself than the jack of all trades who is master of none. But it is also true that the aver age man who has made a marked suc cess in life has been a reader and an observer. The student of history and :l»e who is familiar with the classics THURSDAY EVENING. 1 HARRISBURG sd£Rb& TELEGRAPH ■ APRIL 1, 1915. * has at his command the experience of man through the centuries to guide him. | In our own Technical High school here in Harrisburg we have wisely combined the classical with the prac tical. The boys who go out from its doors after completing the course pre scribed, have at their command the fundamentals of a classical education, and they are fitted likewise either to take up work in the shop and to pur sue their literary studies at leisure, or to enter one of the great universities to complete their education along whatever professional line may most appeal to them. This is the sen sible course. He is best equipped for life who knows and loves the best in art and literature and who is also fitted to p.ut his knowledge to practice in the everyday affairs with which he lias to do. THE EASTER SPIRIT IN his Palm Sunday sermon a Har risburg minister is quoted as saying that the Christian people of the cits care more for Easter clothes than they do for the spirit of Easter in the church. This statement, if true, one is entitled to believe overdrawn. Of course, there are many who place dress and other worldly frivolities above their Christian duties, but it is doubtful if there is one church mem ber worthy of the name who lays more stress on his or her Spring suit than upon the celebration of Easter iu the church. Beside, the prevailing desire to come forth in new clothing at Eastertide is symbolic of the season, which is pre eminently a time of rejoicing; of the triumph of life over death, of spring time over winter. The birds put on their new plumage and the earth takes on new and glorious garments. The flowers bloom forth in gaiety and splendor and the skies are bluer and the sun brighter than at any other time during the long twelve months of the year. Why, then, should man not cast off the somber clothes of win ter and bedeck himself as nature does the countryside and the dumb crea tures that inhabit it? DO YOU DARE LAUGH? ONE of the characters in Maude Adams' delightful little play, "Quality Street," presented at the Majestic Theater the other night, persisted in asking one of the other characters, "Are you laughing, sir, are you laughing?" And when he did laugh she was con vinced that he had attained a point I where he could see the critical situa- | tion involved in a philosophical and j human light. There is a lesson in that little inci dent which it Is possible that many! of the several thousand persons who witnessed the play failed to catch. One of the most wholesome things any person can do is to indulge in hearty laughter. A man or woman is indeed In a serious state who cannot laugh. The man who can laugh but does not is not to be trusted. Beware of him. A smile that will not come off may not be as desirable as the smile that comes at the proper time, but it is far better than the perpetual frown. A well-known life insurance agent says that he always hesitates to accept as a risk for any considerable sum the man who wears everlastingly a sour face and a sullen visage. Some there are who have no in herent sense of humor and they are to be pitied indeed, for as often as not, realizing their weakness, they develop a substitute for laughter that sounds like a cross between the cackling of a hen and a death rattle. Still others there are who imagine that they are displaying laudable selfrestraiVit in concealing their merriment, and yet a few whose hard, sorrowful experi ences have crushed the laughter from their souls. The man who can laugh at hardship is to be envied. Fortune has given him i* hostage of no mean proportions. He enjoys a handicap that wins for him when the odds are against him. Cultivate laughter. It chases away the blues. It gives you a new outlook on life. It wins friends for you and it provides sunshine for the other fellow. # WORK FOR IDLE MEN' OFFICIALS of the Lackawanna Iron & Steel Company have done a very worthy thing in throwing open large tracts of company land near Lebanon for culti vation by its idle workmen and the distribution of seeds and gardening tools among those who desire to take advantage of the opportunity thus af forded to provide for their table dur ing the summer. Other industrial managements might follow this lead with profit to them selves and their employes. The friend in need is a friend indeed and the cor poration that is loyal to Its men in time of necessity will be apt to find its men loyal to it when it needs their loyalty most. There are thousands of acres in Pennsylvania this Spring lying fallow that ought to be producing foodstuffs. The company that finds itself unable to provide work for its employes certainly could do no less than give them opportunity to work such ground for themselves. A good garden would go a long way toward relieving distress in many a family that now finds it difficult to make ends meet. Charles A. Disbrow. for many years identified with the business and bank ing life of the community, will be best remembered by his long service as Park Commissioner of Harrisburg. He was an earnes* worker for public parks from the very creation of the old Park • Commission until it went out of office as a result of the operation of the com mission form of government act little more than a year ago. He carried Into his duties as an official of the city the same Indefatigable spirit and hard : headed bus'nes.: ability that lie dis : played in the conduct of his own affairs. • He was the business man of the com mission. and Harrieburg got many bar gains and much money was saved to the commission as a result of the care he exercised in the purchase of land and ' the conduct of improvement and en ; largement enterprises. f EVENING CHAT 1 It is interesting to note in view of the manner in which the House of Representatives handled the bill to re quire all vehicles to display lights at night that It is not the farmer who is the offender in this part of the State, but what some rural dwellers call "the city guy." The House defeated the bill with a good bit of unnecessary vigor when one comes to think about it. Anyone who has been along a road leading to the city the night be fore market must have noticed the number of farmers driving to Harris burg. Those who have come into the city late on Friday night or early on Saturday morning on return from au tomobile trips or visits to the country when something happened and made you late, have doubtless observed that almost every farmer has a lantern swinging underneath the rear axle or fastened to the side of the wagon. In deed, this custom is almost universal among those who come to attend the markets on Saturday mornings and very general In the middle of the week. It is also to be noted that when farmers start to return home on Sat urday nights after their wives and daughters have been shopping and spending the proceeds of the market hours, that the wagons nearly all bear lanterns which are lighted before they get out of the city. Wagons have been seen nearing lighted lanterns in the electric effulgence of Saturday night in Market street. The farmers say, and rightly, that it is the city chap who goes out "buggy riding," the mpn who has a livery team and the city hucksters who drive along coun try roads without lanterns. The farm ers. as a rule, use lanterns because they feel safer, a reversal of the old time idea. Market Square is a queer place to play games, but the other evening a crowd of boys entertained a number of people waiting for cars and enjoyed themselves by playing "fox In the morning" on roller skates. The boys made a lot of racket and went through a lot of evolutions that made the spec tators gasp. The policemen were as much interested as the boys. "If you Harrisburg people want a park, a park that would be a real one." said the Detroit visitor, "why don't your city use that island you have up the river— island I think you cull it? In Detroit we have our Belle Isle, which we are proud to call the finest city park in the country. It is an island in the Detroit river situated similarly to your island, al though somewhat .larger. Our peo ple go there by tens of thousands by ferries or by bridge and your citizens could get just as much satisfaction from your island. The sweep of your river is finer than the Detroit river, and although you do not have the great boats passing every five minutes as we have, the view of mountains and shore line is better. You have the trees, the bathing facilities and tiie surface formation to make an unsur passed place of amusement, and it could be prepared at very slight ex pense, without draining any swamps, or cutting jungled underbrush, and I am told the city already owns it. Some people seem not to know a good thing when they have it." "These moonlight nights are no good for business," remarked a taxi pilot "How's that? What's the moon got to do with" it?" was asked. "Well, on a moonlight night a man who lives some distance out or who has missed his car will walk it, if he Is not too tired or "lit." In the moon light he will feel safe and he will really feel like he needs the exercise and enjoy his walk," replied the gaso line jehu. "Now I know a couple of fellows who live out on the Hill and some uptown who are charter mem bers of all the organizations of night owls in town. Those fellows will walk home on a moonlight night and talk about it, but if it's a dark night, no i matter how fine the weather may be its a taxi for them." How so many foreigners come to America penniless and in a few short years are able to save money enough to purchase a farm or home and How some even amass small fortunes, is a puzzle to many Americans. Apparently their success is due to the little acts of thrift which they practice. The other day there was an illus tration of how a foreigner utilized some waste to save the price of a shoe shine. An automobile standing along a curb in Steelton was dripping oil. A for eigner was standing nearby. When the machine moved off the foreigner walked over and began to rub the drippings into his heavy shoes. The Harrisburg Public Library lias prepared for its shelves the set of Rumanian books recently purchased for the use of the natives of the east ern kingdom hereabouts. Among the works ready are those of Queen Eliz abeth or Carmen Sylva in Rumanian. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE"! —Dr. H. A.

SWEET PEA BOOMED AS STATE FLOWER : | ( Representative Brumbaugh Gives His Reasons For Suggesting That Blossom Just Now IT IS VERY EASY TO GROW Members Do Not Look For Ad journment Much Before the Middle of May Representative W. Atlee Brum baugh. of Blair county, who presented the bill to designate the sweet pea as the State flower, has outlined his rea sons for the bill. Messrs. Dunn and Phillips, who back the myrtle and wild honeysuckle, respectively, have not put their reasons on record. Mr. Brumbaugh's reasons are as follows: "The sweet pea is accessible to every individual in the state. It can be grown in any flower garden and therefore gardening would be encour aged. We are teaching school children the habits of industry by providing school gardens and such a flower as this would fittingly decorate many school grounds. Its habitat is worthy of study and the flowers can be plucked with an accommodation to the plant. Its domestication has in creased the admiration and popularity. The cultivation of this flower upon the residential lawns us well as in public parks and grounds would be largely increased. I do not know whether there is much sentiment for this par ticular flower, but if this procedure suggests a more appropriate one I am exceedingly satisfied." —Representative Stern, of Philadel phia. who presided for a time last night, had a lively time. There was a demand for a call of the House by Mr. Beyer and Messrs. Hackett and I Wilson presented interesting points.

The House went through a couple of similar experi ences in 1911. —John Lowers, deputy register of wills of Allegheny county, a former legislator, was here yesterday for a while. —T. M. Greer, of Butler, counsel for the Pennsylvania Railroad in Butler county, came here to attend the full crew hearing. The chief speaker on the other side was his brother-in-law, John C.

' Among the publishers asked to con tribute was the well-known Boston 11 firm of Houghton Mifflin Company, ■ which sent a large number of juve . Nile books. Of these books more than ■ half were purchased by the library holding the exhibition, while orders ■ Vere received also for many titles i noted by representatives of other 11- • braries visiting the exhibition. I Horace J. Bridges, leader of the Chi cago Ethical Society and author of • "Criticisms of Life," believes that i. feminism is paving the way toward universal marital happiness, and that ■ the awakening of women means not • the dissolution of tho home but the strengthening of its ties and the con firmation of monogamy. One of the chapters in "Criticisms of Life" con tains a searching study of "the new morality of 'free love' " as defined by Ellen Key. WHAT C AUSES COLDSI This question and "How to Prevent Colds" is asked a thousand times I every day. A cold is really a fever, 1 not always caused by the weather but due to a disordered condition of the I blood or lack of important food l elements. In changing seasons fat foods are essential because they dis tribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the body better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the underlying reason why the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion quickly overcome colds and boild strength to prevent more serious sick ness. It contains nature's medicinal fats, so skillfully prepared that the blood profit* from every drop, and It Is free from harmful drugs or alcohol. •4-37 .

I LETTERSTOTHE EDITOR I (iIVKS VIEWS OX "HAHDSCRABBIiE" To the Bailor of the Telegrafh: Dear .Sir: I am not a resident nor a property holder in that portion of Front street called "Hardserabble,' but I was present for an hour or more at the hearing held in the Council cham ber of the Courthouse, last Friday. The hearing was for the ostensible purpose of llnding out the values at tached to the properties to be taken over by the city of Harrisburg for the purpose of beautifying the Iliver 1* ront. I listened at that hearing to men who were sworn, giving an estimate of what thev thought their property was worth, and it seemed to me that the people or that section were at a decided disad vantage. . .. The Citv Solicitor was there in the interest of the city of Harrisburg to determine, if potsible, not only to oust these people from their homes, but to get their homes at such a rate as almost might imply confiscation. Surely where men have lived in homes, reared their families in them, and become attached to them, they deserve some considera tion, and the viewers should consider that most of them, at least those who have not employed attorneys, are left defenseless before the City Solicitor. As T understand it. the wiping out of this place is for the benefit of the ENTIRK CITY, and I have a higher 1 , J Stieff Sommer Home Open rt b t ■ ff / » I e I \kj ■ * e f v During- the Spring and y Summer while the Stieff , home at 24 North Second street is being rebuilt —Stieff pianos and players will be on display at 212 North Second t street. » Visit our "Summer Home" • before you put that piano in 1 your home and let us show 5 you the beauties and su periority of the Stieff.
